About

What You Can Expect

The beauty and diversity of Durban is represented in our community. Northplace is a tapestry of individual cultures and perspectives surrendered to Christ and woven together to demonstrate God’s glory to our city and world.

We gather every Sunday from 9:30 to 11am for a time of worship, prayer, and teaching. You will be welcomed by our smiling greeters and offered free coffee from our hospitality team. The atmosphere at Northplace is warm and family-friendly, with Kids Church available from 9:15am on the right side of the building.

Plan to arrive a few minutes early to check your children into their classrooms and find a seat in the main hall. Stop by our Guest Connect booth after service, or visit Urban Tribes Coffee Co for your favourite coffee drinks before you leave.

Our Story

Randy and Dezra Freeman were missionaries in Eswatini before they moved to Durban in 2017. What started as a Bible study in their house became Northplace Church in February 2018.

The church first held services at the Sharks Board in Umhlanga and moved into Northplace Centre at 27 Meridian Drive in 2021. Our heart is for the city, and our vision is to be a convergence between the marketplace and the church community.

Today, Northplace Church is a group of people pursuing Christ together in meaningful relationships. From pensioners who have found a passion that drives their latter years to children learning about their purpose, which will shape the years to come, we want to demonstrate God’s glory to our city and our world.

Individual cultures and perspectives are acknowledged, but what we celebrate is the surrender of that individuality toward the common goal of being a church that reflects heaven. We find our true value and worth in Christ.
